Fantastic!
*grits teeth*
I remember when you posted pics of that when you first got it, it's absolutely stunning and would be one of my favourite 14's if you had a lower front lip. Looks slightly awkward from the side profile
Are you having much trouble putting down the power now? A friend of a friend is running 420bhp+ with an RB26 conversion and last time when we had a meet he was lighting up the wheels in 4th!
Mine wont be running so much power, hopefully about 250bhp in a couple of months

needs big splitter on the front to balance the car out, also not hitting full boost till 5500rpm, thats very late for a gt30 on a 2.0ltr....2k powerband isnt great, you need to either rev it properly or play with your cam timing as i would expect that turbo to be on full song no later that 4500rpm

Astonishing. Bravo sir, bravo.
It's also the most stolen car in New Zealand, fact fans.

Il sort some pics this weekend for you boys of the oily bits.
Ref the powerband, I stuck the high lift cams in which are indeed chunky, that has pushed it further up. I have been advised that a set of adjustable vernier pullys properly dialed in may help with that. The redline is 7200 but as you can see it is still making power right beyond 7500...i just turned it down after mapping as 7200 is plenty (Remember them graphs are just the 1.5 bar too...it is mapped and there is a 1.8 bar setting) The .86 housing on the gt3071 also makes it more laggy as it is the biggest housing. .64 would have been better probably but ho-ha
Grip is ok, the car unlike a lot has all the chassis stuff to keep it stuck to the road and it really helps. In the dry it is putting all power down in 3rd unless its bad road surface. Not much point taking it out in the wet though, driving in lag does seem to be ok lol
I have priced a splitter...£500 lol. I know it needs one but its hard getting one as its a genuine jap bumper that was never made for UK market so finding a factory splitter in uk is near impossible
